InDesign

Weird problem — My InDesign files on my home mac will not sync to my Adobe cloud storage. All other file types sync ok (eg: pdf jpg psd). Only the InDesign files are missing. So when I go into work to continue working on a file, I can see the PDF that I made from the InDesign file I just cannot see the .indd file itself! Weirdorama. Yes I have checked the log in credentials and re-installed the desktop app on my home mac. The error alert on my home desktop's Adobe CC icon says 'File suncing error. Some files failed to sync'. Any ideas hive mind please.

Hi everyone,My indesign acts a bit weird with some pdf files. If I want to insert a pdf file I get following error: "failed to open the pdf file". It works on another computer so I really don't know what the problem could be. This is what I've already tried:- removing the creative suite and installing it again: doesn't work- placing the pdf file and opening the options: doesn't work.Hopefully one of you guys can help me.Regards!Daniëlle

Hi!Why can't I delete a row in a table in InDesign anymore?Someone with the same problem?

Just wrapped up my 2nd InDesign project, which required me to try out a bunch of styles and swatches. Some I ended up sticking with, some not, and I kinda lost track of which ones the magazine needs to render correctly.  Can InDesign search said document for stranded/unused styles/swatches, and point them out to me for potential deletion? All this experimenting was just for this single project, anyway. Just so I don't accidentally delete anything important while cleaning up after the unnecessary bloat manually. Thanks!

"basedOn" is merely a setting, but it doesn't actually take effect.I can see in the b1 object style that it is based on a1, but in fact, b1 does not inherit a1's settings.It might be because “basedOn” was set later.Do I need to “reset the baseline options”?How is this script written?app.documents[0].objectStyleGroups.itemByName(AA). objectStyles.itemByName(b1).properties = { basedOn: app.documents[0].objectStyleGroups.itemByName(AA).objectStyles.itemByName(a1), 

Good afternoon, InDesign community, so basically I reopened this document after a year of not working on it, and I corrected everything in the preflight panel except for the chars, and I have Show Hidden Characters on and selected. However, when I have tried to delete the text and retype it, it still appears, and I have no idea how to correct this so that it disappears. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated, as it's driving me nuts.  If someone could please respond to me with a permanent solution today, that would be great! Thanks so much in advance  PS: Here's a visual of the problem 

Hello,I just switched from Mac to Windows. On my macbook I used to be able to zoom and pan using pinch and two-finger motions on the touchpad of my laptop, but on my new computer this is not working. I don't know if it's relevant, but this new laptop has a touchscreen. I found some other threads discussing a similar issue for an earlier version of indesign, and supposedly this was resolved a while back. However, running the latest version I am not able to use my trackpad as desired and it's quite frustrating as this is my preferred way of working. Is there a setting that I can change to fix this?Thanks for any guidance!

There are multiple layers to my question. I have scoured Google for this, but no clear answer has come up about my specific situation, as most answers pertain to fixed layout epubs—and Adobe Support is rather vague. I need this explained to me in layman's terms please. Is there a way to display specialty (otf) fonts as they should correctly display in KDP? Removing obfuscation entirely seems to be the only way they show up in KDP (Adobe and IDPF's obfuscation does not work), and keeping obfuscation falls back to their Baskerville font.Is de-obfuscating allowable if you have an Adobe Fonts account?Is de-obfuscating end-user protected?If keeping obfuscation is the only way to go about this, is it even possible to display the font at all? If so, what component am I missing?  I have seen multiple ebooks display featured fonts in Kindle without me having to download fonts to the device. Furthermore, I have seen other book formatting agencies use specialty fonts via Kindl

Bonjour à tous, je n'arrive plus a déplacer les blocs images ou texte dans mon fichier Indesign avec la flèche de ma souris, les blocs ne sont pas verrouillés ni sur un calque verrouillé, je peux les sélectionner les déplacer avec les flèches du clavier mais pas avec ma souris. Pouvez vous m'aider… merci

The organization I work for has its services and content primarily on Publisher, and given it's now retiring, we need to convert just under 20,000 Publisher files to InDesign. Does anyone have a recommendation if there's a service we could find to possibly help us do this en masse?

Hi everyone, I’m exploring the Data Merge feature in InDesign to create personalized catalogs and invitations. I’d like to know the best way to set up my spreadsheet (CSV/Excel) and link it with my InDesign template for smooth merging. Are there any tips to avoid common formatting issues, especially with images and variable text fields? Any workflow suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I created a script for InDesign to skip "Ghosted" pages while continuing to automatically number pages in a document. We use this often in the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction industry to omit section tabs from the page count. I would like to share it with the A/E/C community, but do not know how to make it available beyond asking this forum. Does anyone know how to make this a readily availble resource or let Adobe InDesign know so that they can make it a readily availble feature?

I keep running into an issue where people have their default units set to different measurements and it keeps breaking my scripts. I would like to set the measurement at the beginning of each script and then change them back but nothing seems to work, does someone know how this can be done? 

Hi.I´d like to spruce up an index by adjusting overcrowded rows.Before: After:  The column is 55 mm wide and after each text there is a tab stop (right aligned, at 55 mm) with the period as a filler character. I want gaps of no more than three points (or a specified distance) between text and page numbers. A line break is inserted at the end of the line. A tab is inserted at the beginning of the next line. If there are more page numbers for a term (more than two lines in a paragraph), the same procedure is applied. My idea was to "do something" with regular expressions, but I have no idea how to check, capture, and move the page numbers.

When I update my modified links InDesign will be inconsistent with how the updated link is imported. Sometimes it will update the link with all of the visible layers, which includes the new layers and is what I want. However, sometimes, InDesign will either only show the old layers, only show the new layers, or a mix of both with some layers not visible. EXAMPLE: Original Link has 2 layers. I modify it to have 3 layers now. I double click to update the modified link. InDesign will update the link to have 1 old layer and the new layer or some other combination that is not all 3 layers total.Is there a way to fix this in order to make it consistent? Has anyone come across this before as well? Thanks.

I have a fairly common problem - losing special characters on a data merge. I thought the cause of the problem was with the data file exported from Excel, but using a csv or even a plain text file correctly encoded to UTF-8 and testing all possible combinations of import options results in losing extended characters on data merge. So a name like Świeżewski is losing those non-standard characters and is coming through as ≈Öwie≈ªewski. It is not the font (Minion Pro - and I've tested every font I have), because I can copy the word out of Excel and paste it into InDesign without any problems. I've also tried various different encodings and regional character settings. I do this sort of work all the time and various workarounds have always fixed it in the past, but on this occasion I can't make it work. I would appreciate any suggestions. Using a Mac, which may be part of the problem, I don't know. Slight update: it appears that InDesign is ignoring the Unicode opt

When I open Data merge window in the New InDesgn 202 (v. 20.0) I cannot see the Fields listed in the window after I select a new .csv file. I am attaching a picture of the new version vs. the previous version of InDesign for the same file. Is this an issue with everyone? I am running Mac OS Sonoma 14.7 om an M1 Mac Mini.     <Title renamed by MOD>

I think I've asked this question before?I only want images to scale up or down, with the text box adjusting accordingly, but the font size remaining the same.Didn't I ask this question before? 

My client has an InDesign book (.indb) designed by a different designer. It has 4 sections and is 72 pages long. My client wants a printable PDF in printer spreads with bleed and crop marks. How do I make that for her? I have done it a million times when the entire document was just a plain InDesign file (.ind), but I have spent hours trying to get it right with the .indb file and sections.

Ich habe mir gerade eben eine Testverion von InDesign heruntergeladen und möchte versuchen ein blätterbares PDF- zu erstellen. Anscheinend funktioniert das in dieser Version (15) nicht?Geht das mit den neuen Versionen wohl nicht mehr?

Bonjour, une fenêtre flottante très utile pour moi (Rechercher/Remplacer) apparaît depuis hier en haut de mon écran. Ce qui me la rend inaccessible et impossible à déplacer. Savez-vous comment la déplacer par un autre moyen ? D'habitude, je réduits la taille de mon écran mais cette fois ça n'a rien débloqué. J'ai aussi essayé de mettre sur mon deuxième écran mais la fenêtre reste inaccessible.merci pour votre aide.

I made a request for permissions but I don't have Adobe Console. I get an email every day: 1 pending request is ready for your review. How do I stop receiving this email every day?
